August is typically a sweaty, slow-moving affair here in Virginia, to wind down the summer and give us time to mourn the coming of school (or celebrate it for parents!) and the shortening of the days. Not so for your intrepid team at the Virginia Apartment Management Association! From Southwest Virginia to the Supreme Court of the United States, there have been a slew of notable developments for Virginia apartment community operators.
In August, VAMA | CVA participated in the 4th annual Ultimate Backpack Supply Drive presented by CoStar and hosted by VCU to benefit the Richmond City Public Schools. There were 16 VAMA communities that hosted supply drives at their communities and/or collected monetary donations and 30 volunteer members that joined us at The Diamond to help stuff backpacks at this charitable event.

The National Apartment Association will be offering five education sessions on diversity and inclusion during their first annual D&I Awareness week, October 11-15.
VAMA is partnering with the Richmond League of Women Voters and Virginia Housing Alliance to encourage apartment renters to register to vote. Renters have been shown to be less likely to vote than homeowners, but we believe our members can help change that. Please help us spread the word!
